2.) A geometric sequence has 1st term 64 while the 7th and 11th terms are in the ratio 2 ∶ 3. Find the 17th term.

3.) Find the remainder when $5x^4 + 3x^3 - 9x^2 + 32x - 4$ is divided by $x + 3.$

4.) An equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon have the same perimeters. What is the ratio of the area of the triangle to the area of the hexagon?

5.) Let q and r be the quotient and remainder, respectively, when a positive integer n is divided by 1000. For how many positive integers n having at most 5 digits is $q + r$ divisible by 111?
